Peter and I roomed together at Medical House when we were in Queens Med 58, I guess I lost track of Peter when we veered in different directions Peter to family medicine in Kendra and I had to take a few more years both on Canada and the US, my understanding is that Peter was a good family doc and he was indeed a good friend at Queens, me an insecure kid, younger than Peter and somewhat lost in his first years after high school. Peter was a friend and classmate. Charles Malcolmson - Posted by: Charles Malcolmson (Classmate, Queens Meds) on: Aug 19, 2022

My condolences to the Delamere family on their loss. I only met your dad on a few occasions when I was a young kid while visiting with my family(Merv Shaw) I can say the reason that I love fishing and canoeing is because your dad introduced me to both and gave me a little instruction. His enthusiasm and passion, left a big impression on me ,plus it was fun.... well he got me hooked and it's something I do actively today 40 something years later. Sincerely, Don Shaw - Posted by: Don Shaw () on: May 18, 2016

Peter was not only our family doctor but our family friend. He was very good friends with my mother (Margaret) and my uncles. I heard many fond stories of Peter and his days at Ball Lake Lodge. He was a good fellow and will be missed. - Posted by: Wade and Theresa Roseborough (Friend and Doctor) on: May 17, 2016

I have many fond memories of times spent with Peter. While at university we spent many falls hunting together. In Kenora, our family enjoyed times at the cottage. I will keep Peter and his family in my prayers. - Posted by: Mike O'Brien (Brother-In-Law) on: May 14, 2016
